Cantata Re-licensing and Upgrade Program
Overview
Cantata offers a comprehensive Re-licensing and Upgrade Program
(RE-UP) for the Excel CSP
2090. This is an attractively priced bundled program that provides
customers with older and used equipment the opportunity to have
systems legitimized, re-licensed, refurbished, and covered under
Cantata’s Support plan. As an important part of this program
Cantata is offering additional incentives to upgrade to our latest
8.x. Software and Hardware.
Eligible Customers
This program is targeting VARs, Distributors, and Developer Carriers.
This program is not available directly to “end users,”
although end users will benefit from this program by purchasing
this program through VARs and Distributors. Should an end user approach
Cantata directly with used equipment, they shall be referred to
a VAR / Distributor.
Any new Developers (VAR’s / Carrier Developers) approaching
Cantata with used equipment shall be referred to inside sales for
qualification as a direct customer. These new developers may be
referred to Distributors and shall be handled on a case-by-case
basis.
RE-UP Program Components
Base Package
The components of the program are bundled as a comprehensive package
that enable a customer to bring a system up to current revisions
of hardware, software and support. The program starts with a Base
Package, which accommodates getting the system qualified, licensed,
refurbished, and supported. The Base Package portion includes the
following features:
- Evaluation of the equipment
- 8.x Base System Software Cantata’s Support Plan coverage
for 1 year*

of these designated components of the Base Package.
8.x Upgrade and Trade In

add software or hardware to round out your system. As an additional
incentive to upgrade the system to our 8.x software and hardware,
Cantata is offering a 65% discount on certain software and hardware
components, which require a trade in. These components must be purchased
as part of the program and included in the same Purchase Order as
the Base Package to realize this discount level. The following hardware
